Liverpool are considering their options as the countdown to the January transfer window ticks on
Liverpool are weighing up several potential moves for the January transfer window and one could include a loan exit for Trey Nyoni.
One of Anfield’s latest emerging talents has been turning heads and the club are considering whether or not to sanction a temporary move for him in the new year. Nyoni only made his Premier League debut on December 20th but he has been around Arne Slot’s team for a lot of this season.
As a midfielder, the 18-year-old has fair competition when it comes to fighting for a place in the starting line-up. Last season, the main midfield three were Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Dominik Szoboszlai.
The arrival of Florian Wirtz has since switched things up, and Curtis Jones also played a full 90 minutes in Liverpool’s last three Premier League outings.
Liverpool considering sending Trey Nyoni out on loan
According to TEAMtalk, Liverpool have been mulling over a potential loan move for Nyoni in January, but they are ‘yet to decide’ whether that’s the avenue they want to explore.
The Reds are said to be ‘holding talks with a number of clubs’ who have shown interest in signing Nyoni on loan. The midfielder is held in ‘huge regard’ at Anfield, which is why the club are carefully considering his next move and ensuring it’s right for all involved.
A number of clubs in the Premier League and Championship have made contact regarding Nyoni, while European sides are also showing interest. Liverpool want to find the ‘perfect move’ for the 18-year-old but of course, not every loan exit is guaranteed to be a success.
While players like Ben Doak impressed while on loan, which led to an eventual permanent transfer away from Liverpool, others have not benefitted from loan moves.
Stefan Bajcetic was deemed a huge star for the future but injury issues have hugely impacted his ability to fully break into the senior team. Now 21, the Spanish ace has been sent on two separate loans to Red Bull Salzburg and Las Palmas, but Bajcetic is still no closer to becoming a reliable option at Anfield.
Harvey Elliott set to return to Liverpool from Aston Villa
Harvey Elliott is another player with huge potential who has been let down by a failed loan move. The versatile midfielder pursued a move to Aston Villa over the summer to boost his chances of regular football ahead of the World Cup.
However, his time in the West Midlands has been a complete disaster, and he hasn’t featured under Unai Emery since October. After many Liverpool fans predicted Elliott would flourish at Villa, he has played just 97 minutes of Premier League football since his arrival.
It is now expected that Elliott’s time at Villa will end prematurely and he will return to Merseyside in January. Unfortunately for him, his options are now seriously limited, as he will not be able to play for another loan club due to FIFA rules.
Elliott had already made two appearances for Liverpool prior to his move to Aston Villa, so he will need to rely on opportunities from Slot in the second half of Liverpool’s campaign.
